Reply To: I don\'t see the need to split every category up
In split screen views like the forums index and the reply window, the column to the right displays the “site wide activities” list. I think it would be much better to display the “recent posts” list if at all possible.
I think one big reason for UB5 getting cast as the ALUF board was that all too frequently the entire activity menu was dominated by religion/politics due to a few high volume posters in those threads. Because that right side column is going to be the way most users intuitively navigate (proven by UB5) Replacing the “site wide activities” list with a “recent posts” in the column is critical to preventing a few posters with very special interests from dominating the perceived top discussions.
